Well I played a little bit of it last night and was having a lot of trouble controlling them while 'sweeping' the mouse. I'll turn down the mouse sensitivity later and see if that helps. Would have tried last night but you can't change any settings while in game which is pretty annoying.

Half Life 2: First ever playthrough and must admit not enjoying it as much I though I would. Maybe had too high expectations. Not much variety in enemies and the sections tend to drag on a bit.WWE All Stars: Playing this on 360. Don't care for wrestling too much normally, but this is lots of fun.

Last but not least I've finally continued my play of Fallout New Vegas, but I'm starting to get annoyed by the sheer ammount of assasins the Legion sents after me, that I can hardly defeat each time. And even worse, they kill my companions too quickly. Luckily, with the Animal Friend perk, I usually lure the assasins to a nice group of critter to deal with them. Especially geckos are chewing them up nicely. But I do like some way of stopping them more permanently. Any suggestions?

Wear NCR faction armour whenever you travel. Or failing that, any other faction armour. They reset your reputation with the various factions in the game, so while normal Legionaries will still attack, Caesar won't send anymore assassins after you. Just remember to unequip it if you're in NCR territory and have positive reputation with them, otherwise they'll treat you as neutral.

Assassins are kind of a pain until you're high levelled, at which point they become an easy source for rare weapons and ammo.

Sleeping Dogs is very good. It's exactly what it seemed like it would be -- an urban open world game set in Hong Kong with a neat brawling combat system. I've played about four hours so far and have had a great time. The combat is really fun, Hong Kong is a great setting with lots of stuff tucked away in the corners, and the plot and voice acting is pretty engaging. Very happy with it.

Syndicate is also good! I picked it up from Gamersgate on sale and have had a lot of fun with it. I finished the campaign and am now replaying it on the hardest difficulty level, and also playing the online co-op, which is a blast. Super hard, and made hard by the fact that there is no chat of any kind, which makes it a pretty surreal experience sometimes. But fun.

Pretty funny that they stop sending assassins after you if you dress like their mortal enemy.

Currently slogging my way through Max Payne 3. It's...alright, I guess. I think me getting stuck at a certain part for far too long (that damn pier/boatyard bit) has lessened my enjoyment rather a lot. The flashback level is still by far the best thing about it.

I've only played the demos of Yakuza games so I can only give slightly more of a view, but Yakuza games are somewhat less open world than Sleeping Dogs is. I see them get compared to a next-gen River City Ransom if that's your thing.

Same here, you're trekking through the game at a leisurely pace when suddenly you are up against a meat wall of 20 dudes firing at you directly after the checkpoint with no cover in sight. The core gameplay was nice, but I feel the level design mistreated that core gameplay.
